ROCCAT bringing their PC gaming gear to U.S.

The folks over at ROCCAT (and by “over at”, I mean Germany) will be coming across the pond to debut their first U.S. PC Gaming peripherals. To be unveiled at the 2012 CES, the company announced today that they will show off their Isku Illuminated Gaming Keyboard and Kone[+] Max Customization Gaming Mouse at CES. Another technology they plan to show off is the ROCCAT Talk, which allows compatible devices to :talk”: to one another making it easier to execute commands while playing. We have an appointment already set up with ROCCAT at CES, so we will be sure to bring our hands-on impressions to you sometime in early January.
